LONDON - Four bones found on a beach on the Isle of Wight, off England's south coast, belong to a new species of theropod dinosaur, the group that includes Tyrannosaurus rex, researchers at the University of Southampton said on Wednesday.
The name refers to the large air spaces found in the bones, which were discovered on the foreshore at Shanklin, a seaside resort on the island, last year. One of the finders, Robin Ward, a regular fossil hunter from Stratford-upon-Avon in central England, said:"The joy of finding the bones we discovered was absolutely fantastic."
James Lockyer, from Spalding, Lincolnshire, in east England, was also visiting the island when he found another of the bones.
